Furore at Golden Dawn trial after prosecutor rejects all extenuating circumstances
A furore broke out during Thursday's session of the Golden Dawn trial after the prosecutor on the bench recommended that the court reject all extenuating circumstances put forward by the defendants.
She excepted only the former MPs Dimitris Koukoutsis, Stathis Boukouras and Chrysovalantis Alexopoulos, who had asked for a specific extenuating instances based on the old penal code.
The court was forced to adjourn the session after the rest of the defence counsel raised an uproar, so that they might also lodge similar requests.
Commenting on her recommendation, the prosecutor noted that it was "contradictory for you to have judged them guilty of serious offences and crimes that strike at the democratic political system and for me to propose extenuating circumstances."
